Biography

Dana Gallup has been a fixture in the South Florida legal scene for thirty years, and in that time, he’s seen just about everything the workplace can throw at a person. He’s built his career on a deep understanding of labor and employment law, handling everything from discrimination and wage disputes to complex whistleblower cases. What’s really impressive is that Dana doesn’t just stick to one side, he provides counsel to both individual employees and business owners. Whether he’s navigating federal laws like the ADA and FMLA or fighting in state court, he knows the system inside and out. His peers have noticed, too, giving him an AV rating, the highest mark for legal ability and ethics. Beyond being a fierce litigator, Dana is a Florida Supreme Court certified mediator and an arbitrator for the 17th Judicial Circuit. He’s the kind of guy who knows when to fight in court and when a smart settlement is the better path forward. If you’re looking for a seasoned pro who understands the intricacies of the employment relationship, Dana is exactly who you want in your corner.
